We did with Johnson as manager… I believe a decent manager could sort us out.
Its the same players. Any manager at Johnson's level will be able to drill a centre back pairing. Its down to the players. Batth might be a partial solution but we're yet to see that.

Alardyce used to say when he came into a club he first sorted out what the team does when it doesn’t have the ball Once that was sorted they had a platform to play off. Unfortunately for LJ he wanted us to play without first sorting out the basics

Hmm. I'm not sure that's entirely right. If we were OK in a back 3 then he must have got things partially right. If we struggled with 2 then that's more of a failing on the players part. Of course, he should have known not to play with only 2 cbs under the circumstances.

Based on what exactly?
Sorry no I meant we get the best man from the job wherever they played football or were born. I’m not saying Ferguson is that person- but if they have good reason to think he is then his Mag history isn’t a problem.
 
Duncan Ferguson heavily linked … I don’t want any ex scum here.

Do you think he'd intentionally sabotage his first managerial role? Outside of Scotland he's an Everton man if anything, he won't give a **** about Newcastle. He wasn't there long.

Out of the suggested candidates he's the one that interests me the most, I've got a feeling he'd be a good fit. Seems to have the best bits of Keane/Di Canio without the negatives.

We only needed a back three because We had such a weak midfield who were a shambles when we lost the ball. Left the defence exposed Saying that I think LJ almost cracked it. If he had brought in a strong DM I think things would have been different
